Google Docs has got an interesting update overnight and it now translates documents in more than 42 languages automatically. This feature is particularly useful if you type your documents in a language which your readers are not very comfortable with.

In order to get started, follow the steps below

1.) Create a new document or open an existing document in Google docs.

2.) After you have typed in whatever you wished to write in the document, click on the menu item called Tools and navigate to Translate document.

3.) You will be presented with all the languages supported. Choose the language of your choice.

4.) A new window will open and the translated document will be available in that.

Google docs also offers you the capability to either replace the original document with the translation or make a new translated version.All the formatting and layout is preserved no matter what language it’s in — translations aren’t perfect, but Google is continuously working on improving translation quality over time.
